How do I add coupons to a page?

Using Gutenberg (Block Editor):
1. Edit any page with the Block Editor.
2. Click the + button and search for “Pure Affiliate”.
3. Select any Pure Affiliate block (Coupon List, Top Deals, Latest Coupons, etc.).
4. Configure options in the right sidebar (count, category filter, spacing, etc.).
5. Publish the page.

Using Shortcodes (Classic Editor):
Add shortcodes directly in page/post content or widget areas:
[quacpuaf_coupons count=”5″ category=”deals”]

How do I link a coupon to a partner store?

1. Go to Coupons → Add New (or edit existing).
2. In the Coupon / Deal Details meta box on the right, select a partner from Partner Store dropdown.
3. This links the coupon to that affiliate store for organizational purposes.

You can also filter coupons by partner using:
[quacpuaf_coupons partner_id=”123″] (where 123 is the partner post ID)

What happens when a user clicks “Show Code”?

1. A Coupon Reveal Modal popup appears with the coupon code.
2. The code is displayed in a copy-friendly text field.
3. Clicking Copy button copies the code to clipboard (with “Copied!” confirmation).
4. If “Auto-Open Link” is enabled, the affiliate URL opens in a new tab automatically.

This provides a smooth user experience while tracking affiliate links.

Can I set expiry dates on coupons?

Yes! For each coupon, you can:
1. Check Enable Expiry Date in the Coupon meta box.
2. Set a Start Date (coupon shows as “Not yet available” before this).
3. Set an End Date (coupon shows as “Expired” after this).
4. The expiry logic runs server-side, so it’s always accurate.

Is performance/caching included?

– ✓ Transient Caching — All coupon/partner queries cached for 12 hours.
– ✓ Automatic Cache Invalidation — Cache clears automatically when any coupon/partner is created, updated, or deleted.
